I have body colour painted side blades on my Macan and the only downside is they attract gravel rash.

Really. How come, as they are reasonably distanced from the ground?

Am I the only one with no issues cleaning the unpainted ones? Quick jetwash was all they needed, some people make out they are scrubbing them for hours

Some pick up from the front wheels can catch the side blades of the rear door where it’s indented just forward of the wheel arch. Don’t know how this affects the different shape side blades on Gen3?

I've also never had any issue cleaning them on my Gts or Turbo 😀

Same here, occasionally have picked up things that took a little more effort to remove (not as much as a stone chip!) but would happily have them on the next car.
